Deleting files from a business I no longer work with—just from my own Dropbox account?
New owners bought the company I worked for and essentially fired almost all the staff. Apparently they also shut us out of their Dropbox account—I can neither drag company files onto my desktop, nor ...

Dropbox StaffHi @Champeen Reet, sorry to hear about that!
Just to clarify, and make sure we're on the same page: were you all part of a Business team, or did each one of you own an individual Dropbox account?
Keep in mind that you definitely can't delete their actual Dropbox account in any of these cases, especially if we're talking about a Business team, and they are admins of this team. Unless you're the admin there. Are you referring to unlinking your app from the account, by any chance?
As for the files, are we referring to shared content, or Team content?
Keep me posted, and we'll take it from there!
Thanks for the speedy reply, Megan.
To my knowledge, the magazine I worked for had only one account for the entire staff. (We were the whole team.) We used it to share files—primarily PDFs—as deadlines approached. After the new owners let all of us go, I opened my own Dropbox account, whose files I have no trouble working with.
I assume the new owners froze the whole staff out of the company account, as they did with company emails. I have no wish to touch their account in any way. I simply want to get it off my Dropbox app.
I await your reply with all ten fingers crossed!
